Jojanneke van Summeren, PhD
Senior researcher Infectious Diseases in Primary Care
Research
My main research project is about the disease burden of RSV infections in young children in primary care, the RSV ComNet project. In this project we have developed and evaluated a standardised disease burden protocol to measure the clinical and socio-economic disease burden of RSV infections in young children in primary care. We have evaluated the protocol in the winter of 2019/20 in Italy and the Netherlands. After evaluation we have updated this standardised disease burden protocol and we are implementing the revised protocol in more European countries in the winter of 2020/21. In addition, I am involved in the Global Epidemiology of RSV in Community and hospitalized care (GERI) project and the Burden of Influenza and RSV Disease (BIRD) project.
